How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

5 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

I did not prepare.

What impressed you positively?

The town- small but lot of activities to do and it's close to Sarasota and Tampa

What impressed you negatively?

The fact that the PBL director seemed really arrogant and boasted about PBL and why LECOM is "the best" due to their "extremely high" COMLEX scores, which he emphasized a million times. Their board scores are high but the way they scale their graphs makes it seem like their averages are a lot higher than national averages when in fact it's not that much higher. During lunch when medical students were present to answer questions, my group was neglected for the entire time when we all had questions to ask. Also, all their students literally wheel around a suitcase full of textbooks.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Not a fan of PBL but the campus is ok.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

To give a folder to all interviewees to put their papers in.
